With students finishing finals and heading out for winter break, December is certainly a quieter month at the Cal Poly Recreation Center. While the facility may be less crowded, students and Cal Poly community members can still enjoy all of the amenities and programs the Recreation Center has to offer, including Free Rec Fridays.

On Dec. 1, 8, and 15, complimentary access will be granted to all eligible members of the Cal Poly community including alumni, employees, retirees/emeritus, and the partner/dependent of a current member. A photo ID and proof of eligibility are required to enter. Visitors will have access to all facilities and amenities including group exercise classes, weight rooms, exercise equipment, racquetball courts, pools, locker rooms, showers, and the climbing park.

December will also feature a couple of membership specials, including $5 day passes for parents and supporters from Dec. 8 through 10 for graduation weekend! From working out in a group fitness class to lounging by the pool, a visit to the Recreation Center is a must for those who haven’t experienced the state-of-the-art facilities. Guests must bring their student sponsor to qualify for this special.

For enrolled students, University Union fees will not cover student access to the Recreation Center from Dec. 17 through 30. Students may access the facility during this time period for a fee of $5 per day. A $20 five visit-pass may also be purchased during this date range.
